Consignment

The small consignment shop on the corner had sold the strangest trinkets for as long as Nicholas could remember. It was only two years ago that he bought a necklace that looked like a piece of junk for fifty cents. He had no idea at the time how much that little necklace would change his life...literally. He couldn’t explain how or why, but that little necklace could swap two people’s bodies. And with it, he ended up swapping bodies with Katie. She was always such a free spirit, wearing colorful clothes or riding around on roller skates. He tried to keep that spirit alive even after they lost the necklace, and he was stuck in Katie’s body for good. He was never quite as bubbly, but he tried. As he rolled passed again today, he noticed something in the window, something very familiar. It was the necklace. It had returned! He could buy it and finally swap back with Katie...if he wanted to. But did he?
